the angels in harvard square
The other day, I was walking back to my dorm when I lost traction, slipped, and fell on the sidewalk in the middle of Harvard Square. Suddenly, I was surrounded by people dressed as angels. As they helped me up, they said things like, "We knew you were going to fall, so we came to get you!". It was bizarre, but they soon handed me a flyer advertising Cirque du Soleil. And that's why they were dressed as angels: it was a marketing ploy. I didn't really want their flyer, but I took one anyway to be polite.
